EMPLOYABILITY


We recognise that academic excellence alone is no guarantee of securing a good graduate position nowadays. Our Careers Service has put in place a wide range of initiatives to ensure that our students are prepared for further study or employment after graduation.


• Personal Development Planning (My PDP) – My PDP is an online resource which helps students construct a well-developed CV, underpinned by an understanding of transferable skills, career planning, employability issues and lifelong learning. In some cases, this can be part of an e-portfolio which can be viewed by potential employers.


• Career Planning and Internship modules - these are available in Level 2 to students in the College of Arts & Social Sciences and College of Life Sciences.


• Placement Base – a service to help students find anything from taking up a paid summer internship, to giving their time freely and working in the voluntary sector.


• JobShop - a central service where employers can come to advertise their vacancies to students looking for part-time and vacation work as well as full-time graduate positions.


• Employer engagement – the Careers Service works closely with employers to advertise positions to our students/graduates and arranges employer presentations throughout the year.


• The Enterprise Gym – this programme includes business mentoring and coaching and the opportunity to win prize money developing entrepreneurial skills.
